"There has never been a portable game system like Game Boy Advance, and never has a game system launched into such a booming market," says Peter Main, executive vice president, sales and marketing, Nintendo of America. "Our existing portable system, Game Boy Color, remains the fastest-selling video game platform in America, achieving all-time sales records even 11 years after introduction. Game Boy Advance will set brand new records."

The system will be available in three colors: Arctic (white), Glacier (translucent blue), and Indigo (violet).
